Same. This is utterly bizarre. He somehow thought being a second class citizen in a second class OS would be better than just biting the bullet and buying one of the Dell developer edition XPS 13s that ship with Linux installed. I don't get it. Font rendering in Linux is hilariously one of its strong points these days. Whether you prefer the OSX way of font rendering or the windows way, it's just a config setting. You change it to the way you like it and then it's the way you like it. There's no giant faceless organization trying to convince you that the "other" way of rendering fonts is objectively bad. Also the Linux machines Dell ships all have 4k displays, and it's objectively difficult to render fonts poorly at those DPIs. That probably helps. I use msys at work, despite WSL. It's just... easier. Haven't been able to get into powershell, but were I to go all in on the windows platform, I'd probably try to start there.
